I have a Win2K3 server running which is connected to the internet. The Server then connects to a switch so that other computers may log into the Win2K3 box.

For some reason the Win2k3 box can access the internet but the users logged in cannot. I have a basic setup and when I created the user accounts I made sure that their profile allowed internet access. I added each computer's DNS record on the Win2K3 server.

I don't know why the users just can't get to the internet....I'm started to pull my hair...any help??

Make sure that the DNS forwarders are set correctly on your internal DNS server.

Either that or you have to add your ISPs DNS server to the DHCP settings. (Not recommended)

Just go into the properties of your DNS server and add the ISP servers to the mix and you should be fine.

From a client workstation ping 69.147.114.210 (yahoo).

If you can ping that address, then follow the advice of the last post.

If you can't ping that then read the following.

Are you saying that the internet router is isolated from the network, one NIC on the server is connected to the internet router, and the other NIC is connected to the network, right? If so you need to configure the server to route the packets from your client network to the internet network. Your best bet is to use routing and remote access.

Also post the results of an IPCONFIG /all

You need to create a Domain Controller for the network and then join the workstations on the domain.

This will then allow your other PC's to access the internet.
